If they are being shipped to you, be sure to give them a nice warm soak as soon as you open their box. They are pretty. The enclosure looks like it should work good. Would love to see the inside, frame.

Do you already have other leopards? I would not keep them as a pair. That never goes well.

Only have these 2 now.... Hoping that they will be ok for the first year.. Untill i can relax alittle on the control of the temp and humidtiy....
But making a "garden/sun" pallet also for them so i can roll them out in the sun. And back in after an hour or 2..
With grass and a few plants in the one half and then Stones and a water in the other..

So if one is a bully ill just rebuild it to look like the other.

The sulcata on my pic live at my gf house.

You may need to raise the sides. Once the substrates in there torts may be able to climb out. Also you may want to keep your plants in their containers and bury the container in the cocchoir.

For now this is the setup..

Easy to keep the humiditiy up. So thats nice.
I live by the water and on a sunny day we still have around 35-40% humiditiy outside. So that help alot..
